“…Finally, mobile code is a feature of some agent-based DSLs because it is a useful mechanism for distributed algorithms. Modeling and simulation languages and toolkits typically execute a single, uniform program, whereas agent frameworks tend to provide features for facilitating agent (code) mobility (Usbeck and Beal, 2011).…”

As the number of computing devices embedded into engineered systems continues to rise, there is a widening gap between the needs of the user to control aggregates of devices and the complex technology of individual devices. Spatial computing attempts to bridge this gap for systems with local communication by exploiting the connection between physical locality and device connectivity. A large number of spatial computing domain specific languages (DSLs) have emerged across diverse domains, from biology and reconfigurable computing, to sensor networks and agent-based systems. In this chapter, the authors develop a framework for analyzing and comparing spatial computing DSLs, survey the current state of the art, and provide a roadmap for future spatial computing DSL investigation.

The Proto spatial programming language abstracts the distributed execution of programs as evaluation of spacetime functions over dynamically defined subspaces on a manifold. Previously, however, function evaluation has always been defined in terms of a complete inlining of expressions during compilation. This simplified the definition of programs, at the cost of limiting expressiveness and duplicating code in compiled binaries. In this paper, we address these shortcomings, producing a model of in-place function evaluation and analysis of its implications for Proto. We have extended the MIT Proto compiler and ProtoKernel virtual machine to implement this model, and empirically verified the reduction of compiled binary size.
